Predicting the most important chapters for JEE Mains is a tough task since the number of questions is more in it and because of the same, the probability of each chapter getting asked becomes higher. JEE Mains has a good mix of chapters each year and thirty questions are asked in each subject. Skipping out on the chapters is not advisable. Knowing a bit about all minor topics too is important. But to save yourself from the problems of leaving any very important chapter, I will discuss and highlight the most important chapters in chemistry that you shouldn’t skip while preparing for JEE Mains.

Organic compounds containing oxygen: This chapter contains in depth content on aldehydes and ketones. This topic is taught in class 12th and since it contains two important classes of compounds it has a greater weightage in JEE Mains. Named reactions are commonly asked from this chapter.

Ionic and chemical equilibrium:These chapters are important topics of physical chemistry. Doing their formulas and concepts thoroughly is much needed for JEE Mains.

Chemical bonding: This chapter is a part of inorganic chemistry and is taught in class 11th. It is an easier part of inorganic chemistry and while preparing this chapter you must refer to the NCERT too.

Thermodynamics and heat:Though this chapter is a part of both physics and chemistry it is a widely asked one since it has different conventions in both the subjects. Also if it is prepared one can attempt questions of it from both subjects with a basic idea of conventions used in each subject.

Coordination compounds: This topic is important for both JEE Mains and Advance. It is taught in class 12th and is widely asked in almost all engineering entrances.

Biomolecules and polymers: These topics require a lot of efforts in terms of learning each and every minute detail but these topics are very important for JEE Mains since they are always asked and can be answered directly with rote learning. Thus, these questions give marks with a minimum usage of time if one remembers these chapters.
